Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The treatment of burn injuries and other trauma and disease-related conditions involving skin losses (e.g., Stevens-Johnson/toxic epidermal necrolysis, necrotizing fasciitis, etc.) is a critical aspect of healthcare, affecting millions of individuals each year. As research and technology advance, the emergence of new materials and innovative techniques and technologies is transforming the care, aiming at enhanced healing, reduced scarring, and improved patient outcomes. Novel biomaterials, advanced technologies, tissue engineering, computer science, and more are being developed and could be used with the goal of optimizing the care of conditions with skin losses. This rapid development presents unique opportunities but also bring about complex challenges in, e.g., legal and ethical areas.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and experts in any field (e.g., materials science, computer science, cell biology, legal, ethical, healthcare, etc.) to contribute original research, reviews, and case studies for our upcoming Special Issue focused on "Innovative applications and challenges of emerging materials and technologies in burn treatment”. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements, coming technology, and challenges to foster collaboration among professionals working to improve the standards of burn care and other related conditions.
Call for Submissions:
Submissions should adhere to the guidelines outlined on our publication’s website. All papers will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest quality of published research. This is an opportunity to contribute to a vital area of study that affects millions of people worldwide and to be part of a growing community dedicated to improving the quality of care for burns and related conditions.
